The Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority (LHVA) invites all amateur and professional photographers to help tell the story of the Lackawanna Valley! Photographers are welcome to submit images to the inaugural “Views from the Valley” photo contest.
All photographs must be taken within the boundaries of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley, which includes all of Lackawanna County and designated townships or boroughs in Luzerne, Wayne, and Susquehanna Counties. Images must be captured between October 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010.
The deadline for submission to LHVA is June 1, 2010.
LHVA is looking for images that capture the beauty and essence of the Lackawanna Valley and showcase the region’s cultural, historic, and natural resources. Photos must be registered in one of three categories: Land, People, or Industry. Photos will further be divided into two divisions, Professional and Amateur. There is a $10 entry fee for each participant. All images must be submitted in both digital and printed format.
First, second, and third place will be awarded for each category in each division, as well as a “Best in Show” prize for professional and amateur photographers. Winning photos will be displayed at a First Friday Art Walk in downtown Scranton at the end of the contest.
